Heavy rainfall is forecast for several Luzon areas, including Metro Manila, on Friday, August 28th. The state weather bureau, PAGASA, attributes this to the continued influence of the southwest monsoon, locally known as ‘habagat’. Residents are advised to prepare for potential disruptions due to the persistent rains. The monsoon is expected to bring significant precipitation across the region. PAGASA will continue to monitor the weather system and provide updates as needed. Authorities are urging caution and preparedness as the rainy conditions are likely to persist. This weather pattern highlights the vulnerability of Luzon to monsoon rains during this season.
